Donald celebrates all-abilities basketball program
A four-week basketball program for people of all abilities has been completed at Donald Community Precinct.
Once again organisers thank Donald Amateur Basketball Association (Kathy Campbell) for its continued support and Donald High School staff (Anthony Tatchell) and students for facilitating this popular activity.
The sessions were tailored for people of all abilities and backed up by some very motivating music.
The students did an excellent job in encouraging and assisting the participants and deserve generous thanks for their involvement.
Rhonda Allan of the Mallee Sports Assembly co-ordinated the program and attended the final session.
It was great to see so many people running around and having fun.
Staff member Anthony could not attend the final session due to being on a school camp so principal Paul Aikman stepped in to assist and demonstrated that he was still very active.
There was plenty of energy burned during the session.
Each week staff and clients from McCallum Day Services-St Arnaud and Woodbine-Warracknabeal plus other community members attended and appreciated the opportunity to play basketball once again.
The group appreciates the efforts of Donald High School and Donald Amateur Basketball Association in once again supporting inclusive sport and recreation.
The program is an initiative of the Access for All Abilities program (funded by Sport & Recreation of Victoria) to focus on inclusive sport and recreation for all levels of abilities.
